Celebrities are all over the headlines, news channels, radio shows, and billboards. Love 'em or hate 'em, there are probably a couple dozen famous faces that will instantly come to mind when you hear their name. What we don't get to see normally, however, is the celebrity before the spotlight. Photographs taken before, or early in their career or before their accomplishments, before a camera in their face was an every day thing. Can you recognize them all from the portraits below? (Highlight the space to the right of their number to see the name.)

Apparently 10 is Richard Nixon!
Look at the face on Jack Nicholason! Recognized a few but not many.
Betty White was a hottie, and Nixon looked shady even back then! lol
Didn't get Hawkins, Nixon, or Dench. I knew Dench by face, but couldn't recall the name. I would have never guessed Hawkins or Nixon - at first because I was expecting entertainers, but also due to the dramatic difference from their latter icons.
I thought 10 was Robert Redford. Would have never guessed Nixon.
Now that you say Nixon I can see that evil little smirk he always had.
I was thinking Buddy Holly instead of Hawkins, didn't get Nixon or Betty White, I knew the rest.

Steve Martin.....wow. He's handsome now, in his 60s I guess, but back then, whoa, BAZINGA! I missed Ganhdi and Betty White. She was lovely!
Jerry Seinfeld was a dag just like the rest of us! great shots thanks for sharing
I think Jack Nicholson is the easiest to photograph, whatever he does he gives you great impression
